My own Context

I started to learn English mainly as a communication tool. Here is a note that contains more details--->

I have been studied a BA in music and I wanted to learn it because one of my main interests is travel and facilitate the communication in other countries.Even though I want to be a professional musician, I also want to be a good English teacher, and I am sure that speak English well can increase my work oportunities in both areas.Also, as the information presented in the text, I was motivated to learn the language because there is a lot of useful information about many topics, and most of the series, movies, and music I like to watch and listen are in English.
